#3513 You go to your neighbour's house to feed their cat. Just as you're about to head home, you hear footsteps and banging from the next garden over. So naturally, you try to sneak as close as possible to them under the cover of trees without being seen or heard. You then realize just how creepy you're being and spend the next 20 mins trying to sneak back to a place in the garden where you won't look suspicious.

I don't know if these are in here anywhere and I'm not going through 63 pages to find out, so anyways... I find lines from the games slipping into my every day speech without deliberate insertion.

#3517:You are looking for something you can't find, and when you finally do find it the very first words that cross your mind/come out of your mouth are "Here's one!" said ala T2 guards when they are whacking the crap out of you.

#3518:Along similar lines, when you are playing any other game (mostly first person shooters) and an enemy pisses you off, and you find yourself saying "I'm gonna make you bleed, taffer boy!"

#3559) You actually manage to log into the TTLG site and notice you've been away since 2006, the "1000 ways to know..." thread is still alive, and is now over 3500 reasons wide...you tell a very unsurprised friend.

#3561: While running at the track, you begin jumping to try to continuously build up speed. (T1 style!)

#3562: While carrying a plate of dinner out, you accidentally and softly bump into someone, but aren't surprised when they're knocked out cold. This is another T1 reference, where you can hold the blackjack in the block position and ever-so-gently touch it to an AI's head for an instant KO. (You don't even have to swing!) For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo60v5lzHDk

#3566 You buy the complete series three times, just because you love the game so much you want to show Eidos that people will still buy it. Well, and because you have gone through three computers and two apartments and can't find the old copies anymore.

#3567 You buy a new laptop and one of your biggest concerns is "Can it play Thief?"

#3570 You have upgraded the desktop and laptop computers too much and Thief just won't run, no matter what you do---and you're going though massive Thief withdrawal to the point of rereading this thread from the beginning
